MACHINE OVERVIEW IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electric appliance, basic safety precautions should always be adhered to. These include
the following:
Before connecting the machine to the power outlet make sure the water tank is lled with water.-
Never use the machine if the water tank is empty.-
Never use the machine without capsule.-
Connect the machine to earthed power outlet only.-
Read all the instructions before using the machine.-
Never immerse the machine in water.-
Never put the machine in the dishwasher.-
Change the water contained in the tank regularly.-
Do not place the machine on, or near, electrical or gas burners or inside a hot oven.-
The appliance must be used by adults only.-
To protect against re, electric shock or personal injury do not immerse the cord, plug or the body of-
the machine in water or any other liquid.
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it was designed.-
Using accessories not recommended by the manufacturer may result in re, electric shocks or-
personal injury.
Using other capsules than Fioresso espresso capsules may cause damage to the espresso machine.-
WARNING: To reduce risks or electric shock or personal injury, repairs should lways be done by-
authorized personnel only. No user serviceable parts are inside.
After changing the water, insert the tank in the machine and check that it is positioned correctly.
We recommend descaling the machine at least once per year or after 500 espressos. For descaling use a
liquid descaling agent for coee machines suitable for contact with foodstus. Do not throw away the
dummy capsule provided in the packaging; you will need it for the next descaling cycles. See the instruc-
tions in the Descaling chapter.
It is advisable to keep the original packaging (at least for the duration of the warranty period) in order to
ship the machine to a service center for repair or servicing if necessary. Any damage caused by transport
without adequate packaging will not be covered by the warranty.

USE AND CARE
Remove the packaging, and check that the machine is in perfect condition before starting the installa-
tion. If not, please contact your supplier. Read the safety safeguards before proceeding.
Install the machine in a place with a temperature between 5°C and 40°C, and away from water taps and
sinks. Unwind the power cord. Plug the power cord into the duly earthed power socket with a power of
between 220V and 240V. In case the plug and power socket are not compatible have the plug replaced
with a proper one by an authorized servicer.
FIRST INSTALLATION / START UP
Read the instructions carefully.
Install the appliance in a place with a temperature between 5°C and max. 40°C.
Check that the voltage of the power mains is the same as indicated on the data plate of the appliance
(located on the rear of the machine).
Connect the appliance to a power socket that guarantees a minimum supply of 10A if fed between 220
V and 240 V and eciently earthed.
If the plug and outlet are not compatible, have the plug replaced with a proper one by an authorized
service center.
Place the machine on a countertop away from water taps and sinks.
After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is in perfect condition before installation.
USING THE APPLIANCE
This machine has been developed to make perfect ristrettos and espressos, using Fioresso espresso

The descaling cycle is nished when the small cup and large cup icons
light up with blinking yellow lights and the water icon lights up with
blinking white light. Before dispensing coee again the machine should be
thoroughly rinsed.
If the descaling cycle is interrupted due to a power failure or because the machine is switched o by
mistake, the entire operation must be repeated before the machine can be used: plug in the machine
and proceed as described from“Start of process”.
Attention:
Do not throw out the dummy capsule provided in the packaging; you will need it for the next descaling
cycles.
The liquid that comes out of the dispensing unit during the process may be warm. Only use liquid scale
remover for espresso coee machines suitable for contact with foodstus.
TO RINSE THE MACHINE
